Bordeaux v Northampton (15:15 GMT)
Some updated team news as fly-half Fin Smith is replaced at fly-half by Anthony Belleau, while James Ramm's place in the matchday 23 will be taken by Toby Thame.
Harlequins coach Jason Gilmore: "The biggest thing is it was great to see the boys with a smile back on their faces. It's been tough but we can take lots of confidence from that. The rhythm, in our attack is starting to pick up and we defended much better."
Saints director of rugby Phil Dowson makes five changes from last weekend's big win over Harlequins.
Craig Wright, Trevor Davison, Henry Pollock, Rory Hutchinson and Ollie Sleightholme all come into the starting line-up. Alex Mitchell and Fin Smith start in the half-backs, Tommy Freeman is at centre and George Hendy moves to full-back.
Bordeaux make seven changes from their last match with Jefferson Poirot and Adam Coleman returning, while France internationals Matthieu Jalibert, Louis Bielle-Biarrey, Damian Penaud, Yoram Moefana and Cameron Woki all start.

FT: Harlequins 61-10 Stormers
Harlequins wing Cadan Murley to Premier Sports: "It has been a tough Christmas period and we just stripped it back and concentrated on doing our jobs. How many times did Marcus Smith have the ball in space? That's what we want to do.
"South Africans are always physical but that's the best performance from our forwards in a long time. We did the basics to our best ability and we had complete clarity."
